Is there any scientific proof that everything was created by an intelligent being?

Question

If there was.... then that being I guess would be called "god" (might be an interesting person to meet, I have so many questions to ask) . Until then are we not fools to suppose there is a "god"?

Answer 1

This question has controversey written all over it...

Answer 2

No, the Intelligent Design theory has so many holes in it you could use it as a seive. They started at the Bibles creationist theory, retro fitted science and made numerous assumtions with no data to back it up to subvert American youth into becoming right wing Christians and has no real basis in science.

Humans try to see patterns where there are none and have a hard time accepting that there is nothing behind why things are the way they are.

What I think is foolish is saying that you are right and everyone else is wrong and everyone must beleive the same thing as you like the fundamentalists who created the ID theory did.

I beleive however that religion is a mechanism of dealing with what you cannot explain and is used to controll people, if any Religious types disagree you can bugger off, I dont come to your church on a Sunday handing out Science text books so leave me alone.

Answer 3

If you're willing to accept the existence of an omnipotent, omniscient being, then it is (by definition) impossible to prove that they DIDN'T create anything and everything.

But there's equally nothing in nature that we can prove COULDN'T have come about as a consequence of the basic forces of nature and simple rules of mathematics. The more we understand and can model processes such as evolution and chaos, the more we can see how the beauty and diversity of nature could quite easily have come about without intelligent help - and indeed how any system of sufficient complexity is almost certain to produce similar structures.

In the absence of evidence either way, it's not necessarily foolish to suppose either thing - the only foolishness is to be certain to the point of persecuting those who believe something different, or wanting to convert non-believers to your own unprovable belief.

However, most people of a scientific bent would probably rather apply Occam's Razor and go for the simpler explanation - the compound operation of simple rules we already know to exist in nature - rather than posit the existence of an extra force of a creator.

There is a lot to be said for the fact that modern physics kinda goes gooey at the point of the "big bang" We can explain life and times AFTER but not before.
Also the genetic code that is found in living cells is amazingly huge. The information found in them is vast. I have been told that if you wrote the information from just one cell into a set of books it would fill libriaries. There is also a kind of language in genes but thats another story.
Does this point to the hand of a creator?
I think it probably does. Does this mean you have to be religious?
If you want, but dont sign up for the christians sects.. they are all about controlling you and that isnt what God wants....

Answer 5

I do not know how scientific you want to get but take a look in the mirror.What do you see?Evolution from an amoeba or would you hope that the beautiful person you see was made in the image of GOD?(Genesis 1:27)

Answer 6

There is no proof anywhere that everything was created by an intelligent being.

But nobody is a fool for believing in God.

See, faith just doesn't need scientific proof.

Answer 7

The mere fact that you sleep and wake goes to show that there is a Supernatural being who has the power of life and death. In everyday life, we come across wonderful things which we do not have ideas about how they came about.

Just look out of your window in the day, you see the sky with the sun shinning to give light and warm the earth, in the night the moon to give light in the dark.

All these points to the fact that there must be some Super-humanbeing who makes all these things happen.

Answer 8

All reasoned arguments rely on axioms, i.e. things which we take to be true, but which are not amenable to proof. The most obvious example of an axiom is the validity of reason itself - It is trivially obvious that we can't use a reasoned argument to prove that reason is valid, because we have to presume that reason is valid in order to make any kind of reasoned argument.

I have another axiom, which I'm sure no sane person would dispute: That the order and complexity that we see around us in the natural universe, and particularly in the intricate structure and functions of living organisms, could not possibly just exist fully formed, with no cause, no origin, no precursor of any sort. I can't *prove* that this is the case, but it seems inconceivable to me that anyone would dispute it.

So, the logical consequence of accepting this axiom is that, for the very same reason, it's not possible that the order and complexity of the universe is sourced in an intelligent deity who designed and made the universe and *himself* exists fully formed with no cause, no origin, no precursor of any sort. I don't think any reasonable person would dispute the axiom presented here, and acceptance of the axiom leads to an indisputable proof of the non-existence of an intelligent creator.

Anyone who (against all reason) asserted that the order and complexity we see in the universe *could* indeed exist fully formed with no cause and no origin, in order thereby to save the concept of an uncaused intelligent designer, would find that they had invalidated said designer by making him redundant - i.e. if the order and complexity of the universe could just exist fully formed and uncaused then it would not need (in fact, could not possibly have) a designer to cause it to exist.

Either way, the concept of a creator is invalidated.

Answer 9

Is there any scientific proof that I went to Australia last year?
Is there any scientific proof that I love somebody?
Is there any scientific proof that I have 5 fingers and not 6?

Answer 10

No there is no proof of God, and man made religion only makes it worse, what there is proof of is faith, faith on God, there is Lot's evidence that Jesus did excise, but no proof that he was the son of God. But there IS NO PROOF that he didn't, or that some other intelligent being didn't

Answer 11

You're contradicting yourself there.
The idea of a deity (or "God") is based on blind faith, that means there is no empirical evidence for it, just a so-called Bible which tells all the miraculous tales associated with the religion.
In reference to your second question, Yes. I do believe people who believe are maybe fools, but more likely people who are too scared to believe that we are only here by chance, by luck. These are probably the sort of people who believe in ufo's and aliens as the notion that we are alone and that there is no point to us being here is too much to comprehend. Hence, they believe in the unbelievable.
